You are disregarding the effect that the BS negative reporting of his leaving Miami had on him and his family.

I was all over this, I stated that IMHO, Mrs Saban wanted to live in Austin over Tuscaloosa and Saban was ok with it as long as tge Texas folks could keep it under wraps until the end of the season.

Then word leaked out that Mrs Saban was looking at houses in Austin, and all shyt broke lose.

Saban loses a game he could have won with a FG kick from the 10 yard line, something smelled fishy there to me, it just didn't add up.

Then when Mack Brown learned Saban was prett much the reason he was being forced out he balked on his retirement.

That is when Nick changed directions and decided to stay at Bama.

The 7 million a year was then agreed on and IMHO Saban will retire at Bama in about 7 years.

I don't see him coaching past 70.

I could see things transpiring just like this.

As they say, EVERYTHING's bigger in Texas. Salaries are bigger and loud mouth boosters are bigger too. They probably shot themselves in the foot during the Saban negotiations - then other really good coaches balked and they had to settle for their 5th or 6th choice. Texas football just ain't what Texas folks think it is.
